Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch …
The waiter served three cups of coffee.
Apart from Lin Chang, there was a woman who looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old sitting opposite Pei Qian. She looked similar to Lin Wan, but she looked more mature and steady. She had the aura of a leader.
Without Lin Chang's introduction, Pei Qian knew that this was Lin Wan's elder sister, Lin Yu, who was in charge of Shenhua Corporation's cell phone business.
One could only say that the difference in one's family background determined one's career ceiling to a certain extent.
Assistant Xin was about the same age as Lin Yu, but she did not have such an illustrious family background. No matter how hard she worked, she could only be a CEO's assistant.
Lin Chang looked the same as before. He looked energetic.
After the introductions, Pei Qian and Lin Yu exchanged some pleasantries and then sat down.
"Boss Pei, long time no see."
Lin Chang smiled. "I heard from Ah Wan that Boss Pei opened a good restaurant. It's very popular on Quanmin Reviews, and it has become the most popular high-end restaurant in Jingzhou. I wonder if I'll have the fortune to try it? Don't worry, Boss Pei. I'll treat you. "
Ming Yun Private Kitchen?
Hehe, don't mention it.
Pei Qian sipped his coffee worriedly. "I'm sorry, I have to wait until the 26th, which is this Sunday. Since it's fully booked, I can't eat whenever I want. "
"Pfft."
Lin Chang almost laughed out loud. "It's so popular? It's already booked until this Sunday? "
"No, I reserved this Sunday a long time ago. To be precise, it's already booked until the middle of next month. "Pei Qian became even more worried.
Lin Chang could not help but sigh. "Impressive, Boss Pei.
"I remember that you hadn't opened this restaurant the last time we met. It's only been two months, and it's already so popular? Boss Pei, you're really something. "
Lin Chang was not trying to flatter Pei Qian. He meant it from the bottom of his heart.
Food and beverage was not something that could be started just by throwing money at it.
Lin Chang had many bosses around him who wanted to open a restaurant to earn money with some spare cash. However, most of them lost money.
What's more, high-end restaurants with extremely high prices could easily incur losses.
However, Boss Pei had managed to make the restaurant profitable in just over two months. What's more, the restaurant had received a lot of good reviews, and reservations had been made until the next month. That was impressive.
However, Pei Qian felt a little upset when he heard that.
It felt similar to Teacher Qiao's epitaph, "You can do it."
Lin Chang was not angry when he heard Boss Pei say that he would not be able to eat at the nameless restaurant tonight. "Alright, I'll do as the Romans do. What's the big deal about waiting for a table in such a high-end restaurant? I'll stay in Jingzhou for two days until this Sunday. "
Pei Qian nodded. "No problem. It's my treat."
Lin Chang quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. Boss Pei, my treat."
Pei Qian was determined. "I have to treat you."
It was not that he was giving Lin Chang any special treatment.
The main thing was that he had to use the System Funds to treat them to meals. Every little bit counted. Pei Qian would not let go of any opportunity.
Wouldn't Pei Qian be profiting by letting Lin Chang treat him?
He would be losing twice the amount of money, which was absolutely unacceptable!
Seeing how determined Boss Pei was, Lin Chang did not insist. It was just a meal anyway. It did not cost much.
"Why are the two of you so free to come to Jingzhou? Could it be because of Lin Wan? "Pei Qian asked casually.
He knew very well that Lin Yu and Lin Chang had come to Jingzhou together for a reason. What's more, it was probably because of Lin Wan.
Lin Chang nodded. "That's right.
"Old Master looks like he doesn't care, but he's still very worried. He forced me and Big Sister to come here because of the same reason as before.
"What's more, compared to before, the difficulty this time has increased …"
Pei Qian, "…"
That seemed to be the case. The situation had worsened.
Before this, Pei Qian's idea was to send Lin Wan to Shang Yang Games to be in charge of Bloody Battle Song, a project that was bound to fail. Then, he would pour money into the project.
That way, he would lose money, the game would fail, and Lin Wan's confidence would take a huge hit. She might even give up on the game industry and go back to inherit her family's fortune.
Logically speaking, his original plan should have been flawless.
Yet, things had gone awry for no reason.
The mobile version of Bloody Battle Song was a huge success, and Lin Wan's confidence was off the charts.
Now, he probably could not chase her away.
What should he do?
Pei Qian sipped his coffee quietly. How melancholic!
Lin Chang looked melancholic as well. "Ah Wan can finally hold her head high this time.
"In our family, Old Master and Big Sister strongly opposed this. My second brother, Lin Zhou, and I supported Ah Wan. However, we only supported her spiritually. We didn't think that she could really make a name for herself in the game industry.
"After all, the game industry is a cruel one. What's more, Ah Wan is a little too idealistic. That's why although Lin Zhou and I supported her, we only thought that she should suffer some setbacks in real life. She should figure out how difficult this industry is and come back obediently."
Pei Qian nodded silently.
Yes, I think so too!
Speaking of which, did Lin Wan's entire family think that she would not succeed?
Although Lin Zhou and Lin Chang supported Lin Wan, they only supported her in pursuing her dreams. They did not think that she could really succeed.
Lin Chang continued, "That's why we didn't expect Bloody Battle Song's mobile game to be so successful."
"We also did not expect Shenhua's application store to make a profit by providing her with recommendation spots.
"Over the past two days, Lin Wan has posted a lot of information about Bloody Battle Song in our family's group. For example, players' reviews, official platform recommendations, profit figures, and the like. She even tagged Big Sister.
"Although we only gave Shenhua's application store ten percent, Ah Wan worked hard to earn that money. She's very proud of it.
"That's why Old Master can't sit still anymore. He's urging me to think of a solution."
Pei Qian, "…"
Indeed, I can't sit still anymore.
Pei Qian could imagine how smug Lin Wan was in her family's group.
Back then, everyone in the family did not think that she could make a name for herself in the game industry. Then, she ran to Guangzhou and then to Jingzhou on her own. She had persevered for so long.
Now, she had created a popular game that even the official platform was praising. That was the perfect proof of her abilities.
How could she not flaunt?
It was obvious that Lin Wan would work even harder to shine in the game industry after this. The chances of her inheriting the family business would be greatly reduced.
However, at this point, Pei Qian felt indignant.
He looked at Lin Yu, who was sitting opposite him, cursing in his heart.
At the end of the day, isn't it because you insisted on giving Lin Wan recommendation spots?
If you hadn't given Lin Wan recommendation spots, she wouldn't have thought of turning Bloody Battle Song into a mobile game. The game wouldn't have become so popular.
That's why ninety percent of the blame is on you!
Of course, Boss Pei could only think this in his heart. He could not say it out loud.
After all, everyone was a victim.
They were all in the same boat. In an avalanche, not a single snowflake was innocent.
Strictly speaking, Boss Pei had made many mistakes as well.
At that thought, Pei Qian sighed silently.
He had to think of a way to salvage the situation!
Pei Qian probed, "So, what do the two of you think?"
Lin Yu, who had been quiet all this while, finally spoke. "My attitude hasn't changed. I still hope that Ah Wan can return as soon as possible.
"Although she has proven herself this time, I think that there are many coincidental factors involved. I don't think that Ah Wan has fully understood the cruelty of this industry. I don't think there's any point in her continuing."
Pei Qian nodded silently.
That's right!
There are indeed many coincidental factors involved. I think so too!
Lin Chang added, "The main thing is that Ah Wan is very carefree. She's living a carefree life outside. Old Master can't do anything to her and has been pressuring me. Boss Pei, it's too difficult for me. "
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "I remember that you regretted not being able to become the lead singer of a band. You've always supported Lin Wan in her pursuit of her dreams."
Lin Chang nodded. "That's right. That was the case before.
"However, Ah Wan's dreams have been fulfilled. She has already created a successful game! I didn't even have a chance to realize my dreams before they were completely destroyed!
"That's why I felt very unbalanced. I switched sides!"
Pei Qian, "…"
Indeed, the plastic sibling relationship immediately crumbled under Old Master Lin's pressure.
Lin Yu continued, "Of course, I also know that Lin Wan is now your trusted subordinate, Boss Pei. She's the director of your newly acquired Shang Yang Games. You must be very reluctant to let her go …"
Reluctant to let her go?
No, no, no, on this point, my attitude and that of Grandpa Lin's are highly consistent.
I just want her to leave as soon as possible!
Pei Qian immediately raised his hand. "Boss Lin, you're treating me like an outsider.
"Lin Wan's talents can be put to better use in Shenhua Corporation. I'm definitely not that kind of selfish person!
"Please take her away as soon as possible!"
Lin Yu was elated. "Boss Pei, it's great that you think that way!
"However, there's still a problem from before. Ah Wan is too stubborn.
"If the method is too blunt, it will only backfire."
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask Boss Pei to think of a solution for this."
Pei Qian sipped his coffee, speechless.
He could tell that Lin Yu and Old Master Lin had no way to deal with Lin Wan.
However, I can't do anything about this matter that you've asked me to do!
If I could let Lin Wan go back and inherit the family business, I would have done so a long time ago. Why would I wait for you to come knocking on my door?
Pei Qian shook his head silently. "To be honest, I don't have any ideas on this matter. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Lin Chang hurriedly said, "It's alright! I believe that a genius like Boss Pei will definitely be able to think of a solution. What's more, Ah Wan trusts you very much now. Your success rate is higher than ours. "
"Don't worry, Boss Pei. You're not fighting alone. If you need anything, Shenhua Corporation will do its best to support you!"
"After this is done, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Hmm? Another reward?
The kind that can avoid the System Funds?
Seeing their sincere expressions, Pei Qian nodded reluctantly. "Since that's the case, I'll think of something."
